Maria has been feeling depressed for at least two and a half
years. About three years ago, her husband of 20 years left her
for another woman. Devastated, she became despondent and tearful
almost daily.
Eventually, her depression got worse associated with inability
to function. Her appetite, energy, concentration, and sleep
became impaired. She also felt hopeless and suicidal. Her
psychiatrist put her on a starting dose of antidepressant. She
responded initially but after a few days, she felt ...

Fibromyalgia Myths and Truths. © By Lena Sanchez
When, after 15 years of excruciating pain and hospitalizations
without an answer to the pain suffered daily, I was finally
diagnosed with Fibromyositis, now known by it's common name
Fibromyalgia (FMS), I was given a lot of prescriptions and told
that I would more than likely end up in a wheel chair.
That is a very true if I had continued to take those
prescriptions and listen to those doctors who haven't a clue as
to what is going on in FMS ...

When the topic of women's health care is raised, the first
disease that comes to mind is probably breast cancer. But
surprisingly, that's not the number one health care issue
confronting women today. In fact, heart disease kills more women
each year than all forms of cancer combined. By knowing the most
significant risks in women's health care and what you can do to
combat these health care issues, women of all ages can take a
proactive approach to leading healthier lives.

HOW TO LIFT WEIGHTS AND LOSE WEIGHT The 5 Golden Rules by
Michael Stefano I was barely fifteen when I bought my first set
of weights. My best buddy and I lugged the 110-pound set uphill
for the twenty plus blocks from the porting goods store to my
parent's basement. Back then pumping iron was reserved for
bodybuilders and others at the extreme end of the exercise
spectrum. But there were a dedicated few of us that found out
just how far a little bit of weight lifting could take you.
Today ...

He reported that overseas pharmacies inform American buyers that
U.S. Customs will not seize shipments of drugs because a
"personal use" policy allows customers to import a limited
supply of drugs. As a result, Law enforcement agencies that try
to manage online pharmacy abuse are finding it a challenge to do
so. (This is true. Read the FDA Regulations and their contrary
policy at http://rxasia.com/import.html ) If the package doesn't
contain narcotics or controlled substances, they normally ...

2002--another year, another chance to make a fresh start. What
resolutions will you make this year? And, more importantly,
which ones will you keep? After all, making resolutions is easy,
keeping them can be tough after your initial good intentions
start to fall by the wayside and old habits start to kick in.
Every year I see the same thing. The gym suddenly becomes more
crowded with the "newbies" who have admirably decided to begin a
regular exercise program. Not to worry, most of them will ...

Does this sound familiar to you? After getting through a long
day of work, engaging in obligatory social activities and then
doing the upkeep on your house or apartment you may feel as if
every last second of your time and every last drop of your
energy have been spent.
By that point, you just want to collapse on the floor,
exhausted. Then you wake up and have to do it all over again the
next day.
Fortunately, there is help. You just need to know about an
amazing exercise and self ...

Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? Well, that's what many renowned
natural health practitioners refer high blood pressure to.
What causes hypertension or high blood pressure? Some people
think it's being overweight, stress, salt and a host of other
factors.
Here's another idea. Your blood becomes dirty. Normally, the
dirt is filtered out by the liver. But eventually your liver
gets dirty too. So your blood can't flow easily through the
liver, and it gets blocked. Often medical doctors put ...

Transition has trimmed Russian life expectancy by well over a
decade. People lead brutish and nasty lives only to expire in
their prime, often inebriated. In the republics of former
Yugoslavia, respiratory and digestive tract diseases run amok.
Stress and pollution conspire to reap a grim harvest throughout
the wastelands of eastern Europe. The rate of Tuberculosis in
Romania exceeds that of sub-Saharan Africa.
As income deteriorated, plunging people into abject poverty,

If you or someone you know suffers from rheumatoid arthritis,
you know how painful and debilitating it can be. If you haven't
walked a mile in those shoes, you can't imagine how frustrating
it can be. Your doctor may say try this medication, try that.
Don't do this, do that. But sometimes, to no avail. The disease
is caused by a misguided immune system attack on the body's own
joint tissue, which leads to swelling, pain, stiffness and in
some cases deformity. Rheumatoid arthritis is more common ...
